Quick tip - One of the easiest thing to do if you’ve planned ahead enough is to pitch your wort right onto a fresh yeast cake from your previous batch. Number 1 priority - Make sure everything is super-duper clean and SANITARY! You guys probably already know this, but it's worth saying again: Ultra-Indigo had a good suggestion to add some more info on yeast washing, thanks! I can't say for sure that's what caused it, but that's my best guess. Pressure built up inside the bottle, I went to open it, the opening of the bottle was small and funnel like and then BOOM! Yeast explosion. That should be no big deal.īut, while cleaning the fridge I let the bottle warm up for awhile on the counter top. I then forgot about it and left it in the fridge for too long. Topped it off, capped it and put it in the fridge. Once it fermented out, for whatever reason this time I grabbed a 22oz. Resulting in a uniqueness that is unparalleled and impossible to copy.Īnyway, this batch of beer had an extremely 'active' fermentation and blew out it's airlocks and made a pretty good mess. It takes beer to make beer right?! Reusing yeast also adds a unique flavor, character and depth to the beer palate profile. I usually save some yeast from the current batch of beer in order to make the next batch of beer. This experience taught me a very important life lesson - Bribe someone else to clean the refrigerator next time! And after a few more seconds I also realized that I would now get the opportunity to clean the rest of the kitchen. I stood there stunned trying to figure out why people were laughing.Īfter a few seconds I figured out what had happened. The contents of the bottle evacuated itself all over the kitchen celling. I grabbed the bottle opener and just barley touched the lid of the bottle when BOOM! Now it was time to empty the glass bottle so I could recycle it.

Then I wiped down the counters where the fridge stuff had sat. Next I put everything what wasn’t expired back into the fridge.

I figured it wasn’t a good idea to throw a full glass bottle and instead put it in the sink. It was old yeast leftover from brewing beer. Did you know penicillin could grow on ketchup? I didn't.Īfter shooting baskets into the trash can with the expired items I ran across a glass bottle full of brown sediment. Next was to sort through things and get rid of the expired items. So to get started I pulled everything out of the fridge. No, aside from the ranch dressing (or was it expired milk.) that had turned into a bio-hazard and needed to be disposed of this was just a boring day in normal life and there were chores to do. There wasn't even a 'Hold my beer and watch this!' moment. Have you ever mopped your kitchen ceiling? No?
